We are a team of entrepreneurs, software engineers, and people of faith.
Altar Live was created in response to a shared challenge: while livestreaming made services accessible, it often lacked real human connection. Drawing on deep experience in Christian higher education, entrepreneurship, and large‑scale technology development, our team set out to create something different—a platform designed not just for broadcasting content, but for cultivating presence, participation, and community. Since forming Altar Live in June 2020, we’ve partnered closely with faith leaders to build tools centered on human‑to‑human engagement, and we’re grateful to serve faith communities around the world through seasons of disruption and into the future.
In March 2026, Altar Live entered a new chapter when it was acquired by JX3 Digital—a faith‑based digital agency built by ministry leaders who believe technology should serve the mission of the Church, not replace it. What makes this transition unique is that the new owners were customers long before they were owners.
They didn’t inherit a product they were learning to understand—they invested in a platform they already trusted, used, and championed in real ministry settings.
Today, Altar Live is stewarded by a team of pastors, church technologists, and online ministry leaders who have lived the challenges of digital ministry firsthand and are committed to helping churches build authentic connection in online spaces.
The Altar Live leadership team brings together decades of experience across church ministry, IT infrastructure, digital engagement, and livestream strategy. Their shared vision is simple: equip the Church with tools that foster discipleship, not just viewership.
